I watched “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” a few weeks ago which is probably my first proper anime (not counting the odd episode of Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon or OnePiece I caught on TV as a child) and I really enjoyed it.
Especially the slow but deep character build up and general world building and exploration themes were really captivating. So I’m looking for something similar with focus on these aspects.
So far I found “Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina”, which was ok but didn’t quite live up to Frieren and wasn’t nearly as captivating.
So does anyone know similar shows or at least shows that focus on the aspects of story telling I mentioned avove?
Mushoku Tensei is a good show to watch if you’re in a mood for philosophical questions. Like in the case of Rudeus, is he an adult in a child’s body? Or is he a child with an adult’s memories? Same also holds with Oshi no Ko.
The way I interpreted it while reading the light novel was that he started as an adult in a child’s body, and slowly became the child while retaining his memories. In the process he (other than worshipping panties…) became a better person than he ever was in his first life. Not that it took too much, considering what kind of lowlife he was. 🤷♀️
